BURGLARIES.—During the past week the burglars have made a number of nocturnal visits in this
place. The house of Judge Searls has been entered twice. The first time was about three o’clock last
Wednesday morning. The Judge being awakened by the noise came out into the entry, when he could
distinctly hear some one breathing hard at the head of the stairs. After listening a moment one of the
robbers, who had a mask over his face, came down far enough to be seen by the Judge, when he said, “if
you will go back in your room we will leave.” As the Judge’s pistol was not loaded, he accepted the
compromise, and the robbers took their departure.
During the same night the houses of Mr. Wm. Davis and Mr. Hartman, who live not far from Judge
Searls, were entered, but the burglars got nothing of much value. The inmates of Mr. Davis’ house were
awakened by the noise, and Mrs. Davis saw four men leaving the premises. They carried off a pair of
boots and a trunk from the house of Mr. Hartman. The trunk was found the next morning, the contents
having been overhauled and a specimen pin taken.
The house of Judge Searls was again entered on Saturday night. The Judge was awakened by the
noise, and taking his pistol, which was loaded this time, went to the front door, but the burglar had
doubtless heard the noise and made tracks. He carried off an overcoat and a cane, belonging to the Judge,
which had been left in the entry.
